Naming the Real

Brandon Cook

In an era of polarization, confusion, and "fake news," discerning and naming what is real—what satisfies, what has substance, what is meaningful—is more important than ever. The Naming the Real Podcast is about doing just that: rightly naming the beliefs, attitudes, practices, and behaviors that will help you transcend our cultural anxiety and lead a flourishing life, for the sake of the world.

    This podcast is excellent. Brandon artfully delivers profound messages that are thought provoking, educational and inspiring. It’s gritty, beautiful, and offers wise guidance for living a meaningful and present life. I wish there were even more episodes to absorb because they help center me and get through the days.

  • Intellectual and Inspiring

    I love this podcast. The topics are fascinating. It allows me to take a deeper dive into psychology and learn not only how brains work but also feel connected to other people, knowing they have the same tendencies as me.

    I pair this podcast with my Calm app (meditation) and find it really relaxing and energizing as we begin our seasonal change into wintering: darker nights, colder days. This podcast is warm and cozy, like a wood fire in a cabin.

    Thank you for creating this podcast! 🍁
